Nice looking bike. Always liked Guzzis. Is it just me, or does the rear fender appear to be "floppy" in the video? Could be just the junk hanging off it. I like how the stock photos don't even show that junk LOL.

Never had a problem with my Le Mans re: engine heat. Sold my Le Mans for a K1200S for the power. Wish I had my Le Mans back for the character, it's all about the 'motor'.

With Guzzi, I'd say it's "all about the character" - which Guzzi [always!] has in Spades, without a doubt.

Why be another one of hundreds-of-thousands of "Rugged Induhvidualists" when you could have had an 8V?

The added weight is a turnoff, though. Sort of like agreeing to marry that hot 20's blonde; but at the altar you notice something off but cannot put your finger on it until after lifting the veil when the preacher sez "you may kiss the bride" - and you see you just married her oogly 15-year-older and 200-pound-heavier sister, crammed into a corset.....

Nothing to see here, Citizen. Move along now...

I never had a problem with heat on the HD . Unlike the FLH touring bikes, the FX had nothing to trap the heat, it just flowed away underneath the seat and behind me. Quite a different setup from a pair of cylinders sticking out right in front of your legs. Maybe it's not an issue at all.
